SpuriousLogic writes "NASA is trying to sniff out which employee brought a baggie of cocaine into the hangar that houses Space Shuttle Discovery at Kennedy Space Center in Florida this week. The space agency is preparing the shuttle for a launch to the International Space Station in March. Spaceport officials said an employee found the bag Thursday morning outside a bathroom in the restricted shuttle hangar, Orbiter Processing Facility No. 3. The employee notified security, which conducted tests confirming that a 'small amount' of cocaine remained in the bag."

One wonders how, without gravity, an astronaut would be able to chop and spread out a line on the mirror. Guess (s)he would just have to stick the rolled $100 bill into a tiny opening in the bag and snort, but that would be wasteful with unchopped coke.
